Chapter 973 973 Unified Response

Wolfe brought King Petros back to town, where his Nobles were waiting eagerly for the results of the test flights, and news on when they might get their hands on a flying machine of their own.

"Good news, everyone. Saint Noxus has generously donated three small planes to the Crown for official purposes, in the livery of the Palace. We have also arranged for there to be ten stalls available here for next month's Solstice festival.

I am told that it is an important one for the Witches, so there will be many of them here, including a number who have been invited for job interviews.

Now, it is time that we returned home to our duties and began to prepare for the upcoming infrastructure improvements.

I am certain that many of you have arranged for the purchase of Witch Magic while you were here, so I won't keep you from your homes any longer." The King declared.

That seemed like his cue, so Wolfe opened a portal in front of the hotel in the Capital, beside the walk, so they could step out safely and not into the road.

They waved as they walked through, and the hotel staff looked down at the portal like they had won the lottery. There were so many ranking Nobles showing up all at once, and it was already nearly dark there.

Most of them wouldn't want to return home that night in the dark, so they would probably take rooms, and good rooms, suitable to their station.

I don't think they would succeed with this world, as there are too many Fae and Demons here for them to run us off without a massive invasion that they wouldn't win, but on many other worlds it has worked."

"Alright, so we will set limits to where they can go, so they don't start problems in other regions. Should we start some sort of list, or do you already know who will be willing to let them visit and who won't?

I know they're quite interested in meeting the witches, but if the Coven's don't want them around, we will have to limit the job candidates to just a few locals and some unaffiliated volunteers." Wolfe reminded them.

Most of the others shook their heads. "No, you will find plenty of volunteers among the former Witches of the One World Army. Things are getting steeled on the other continents, but plenty of them are still eager to get away.

They feel betrayed now that they have realized what was being done to maintain their power, and they want to try being proper Witches, healing nature and making helpful potions. The cursed talismans might have been the final straw for many of them. It was a betrayal by the Saints that they couldn't accept."

Wolfe sighed. "Well, if they're unhappy at home, and they would like to try healing for a living, I can't deny that this is a good opportunity for them. I just want to make certain that they're not going there to plot some revenge against their former allies."

The Representatives weren't particularly concerned with that. They had been working hard to stifle that sentiment and build a feeling of new beginnings. Unfortunately for some, they had just seen and done too much to fit in with the new start.

Many of them were already here in Forest Grove, their Representatives had been quietly moving them here and to the rural villages of Sylvan Coven so they could live in peace, but if they wished to work for King Petros, that would be fine as well.
